Taps are a small detail that can quietly cost a surprising amount, particularly from the designer brands, so ex-display is a sensible place to look. The listings here cover basin taps, bath and bath-shower mixers, wall-mounted taps and shower valves cleared from showroom displays.
The better makers show off their ranges in showrooms, and the taps cleared afterwards are usually the current designs at a fraction of the retail price. Finishes run from chrome and brushed nickel to black, gold and other options.
As display pieces these are typically unused and in excellent condition, though it is worth checking that any fixings, cartridges or waste are included. Confirm the type of fitting your basin or bath takes, and the number of tap holes, before you buy. Each is a single clearance item, so read what comes with it and check the delivery or collection terms with the seller.
